  • Publication number: 20060126155
    Abstract: A display system (10) with reduced speckle has a light source (70) providing an illumination beam and a linear light modulator (85) having at least one linear array of light modulating devices for forming a modulated beam. The modulated beam has a plurality of orders of diffracted light. An obstructing element (82r,82g,82b) blocks a zeroeth order reflected light from the modulated beam. An angle-transforming optical assembly (30) anamorphically conditions the modulated beam. A scanning element (77) scans the modulated beam toward a display surface (90) for forming a two-dimensional image thereon.

  • Publication number: 20050147135
    Abstract: An organic vertical cavity laser light producing device (10) comprises a substrate (20). A plurality of laser emitters (200) emits laser light in a direction orthogonal to the substrate. Each laser emitter within the plurality of laser emitters has a first lateral mode structure in a first axis orthogonal to the laser light direction and has a second lateral mode structure in a second axis orthogonal to both the laser light direction and the first axis. Each laser emitter comprises a first mirror provided on a top surface of the substrate (20) and is reflective to light over a predetermined range of wavelengths. An organic active region (40) produces laser light (350). A second mirror is provided above the organic active region and is reflective to light over a predetermined range of wavelengths. A pumping means excites the plurality of laser emitters.
